After a bit of head scratching I got the bottom layer done... I had to drill the hole and use my 1" jaw to turn down the OD until I could chuck it with my biggest jaws...

Then I was able to finish the bottom so I could use my outside jaws to grip the inside of the recess.

Got a ring positioner made yesterday and I'm liking it. I tried a bolt and nut but it was not square enough to hold the ring parallel to the chuck so I machined one from 6061.

I drew lines on it while it was in the chuck but they got a bit fat and allowed the ring to be a smidgen off center but plenty close. The blue tape is applied with the end of the Rockler silicone glue brush and it holds position well.

It's a lot easier to line up the features now.

I used a different way to center the last ring... I need to take a photo of that process but it's centered to a few thousands on the glue up board.
